Chapter 969: The next day

"Damn... this small village is really rich!"

On November 9, at the gate of Li Village, reporter Wang Ming was stunned at the dozens of cars parked at the entrance of the ancestral hall. ※%※%,

No one would have thought that such an unknown small village would have so many vehicles, and there were many luxury cars among them. It was not as shabby as the big city, which surprised many people who were watching.

"Well, after all, Teacher He Xi is coming back!" Wang Ming's colleague He Min took the camera and said lightly: "There is such a famous person in this village. No matter how far away a relative is, as long as he has money, he will come to stutter."

She didn't think the appearance of these luxury cars was surprising. If He Xi could also be released in other villages, there would definitely be so many luxury cars appearing, no matter whether it was the direct bloodline of this village, anyone with some relatives would have to come over.

"Do you think they can successfully please He Xi?"

Wang Ming asked curiously, and He Min shook his head without thinking: "It is unlikely. As far as I know, Teacher He Xi is not so easy to be pleased with. Those who get close to him may have a waste of time..."

Speaking of this, the two found that the village road suddenly became lively and many people walked towards the village gate.

"This is……"

"Teacher He Xi is coming!"

He Min's eyes lit up. She saw Li Qin standing in the middle of the crowd. This low-key mother came out to greet her. Moreover, there were also a group of old people standing beside her. Most of them knew that He Xi was about to arrive.

Wang Ming was excited: "Let's go there too!"

He wanted to run over, but He Min grabbed him: "You are crazy, haven't you seen those policemen?"

He Min pointed to the two police cars parked next to the village road and some policemen beside the cars. The police kept staring at He Min and other reporters. All reporters dared not run over. He Min naturally didn't want Wang Ming to be the first to stand out.

"It's just an interview in the past, there won't be any trouble, right?" Wang Ming stopped with a depressed look on his face and said, "We small newspapers have finally been able to contact He Xi, so we can't miss this opportunity, right?"

He Min sighed: "There is nothing you can do if you miss it. Didn't the Qingcheng County Public Security Bureau warn us last night? Is it better to be cautious..."

"No matter how cautious you are, you can't be in vain!" Wang Ming complained: "If you come back empty-handed, the editor will have to scold us to death."

He Min set up the camera and smiled: "We won't go back empty-handed. We stand by and take a few good photos. This trip is worth it. I wonder if Shen Jie will appear with Teacher He Xi. If they are together, these photos will be precious."

"You mean the Fei of Shen Jie and Teacher He Xi..."

"Wait, see if Teacher He Xi is here!"

He Min interrupted Wang Ming, and their eyes turned to the road outside Li Village. Two black cars could be seen driving towards the entrance of the village from afar. It was getting closer and closer, and the entrance of the village was filled with excited people.

After the car stopped, several bodyguards walked out of the car in front of the car first. After the door of the second car opened, the first person to walk out was a tall blonde woman. Her appearance surprised everyone. But at the same time, she was also shocked.

"How could it be a foreigner?", "Whose relative is she?"

There was a noise at the entrance of the village, but Li Qin walked over with a happy look on her face: "Alice, where is Xiao Hu?"

As soon as she asked this, Alice got out of the car, and another person walked down and it was Meng Huo.

"Crack! Crack!" The sound of cameras sounded around him. Meng Huo turned his head strangely. He found some reporters not far away. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, but said nothing, and walked towards Li Qin with Alice.

Li Qin was surrounded by many unfamiliar relatives of Meng Huo, and several well-dressed old women were particularly enthusiastic. As soon as they came over, they snatched the initiative in their words.

"Let me see, this is Meng Huo?", "Meng Huo, do you still remember me? I hugged you when I was a child. Look, you look like your mother. Oh, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, so I can't recognize you at all!"

Meng Huo smiled bitterly in his heart. He was similar to Li Qin when he was a child, but now he is not like him at all. But more than ten years ago, he was a child, so it would be strange if he could recognize him!

Li Qin came over and said with a smile: "Meng Huo, you want to call them old aunt..."

Meng Huo nodded and then said hello to several women. The women smiled and looked at Alice: "Meng Huo, you brought your girlfriend back? Foreigner? Can she understand what we say?"

Meng Huo shook his head: "I can understand. She is not my girlfriend, but... a colleague."

"Aunts, I am a native Chinese." Alice has become accustomed to others saying that she is a foreigner, but it is troublesome to explain every time. Here she adopts the simplest method: "I am a minority."

Compared to talking about her Western ancestry, the word ethnic minority is obviously easier to understand. When Alice said this, everyone around her showed relief.

"No wonder... you should be Siberian, right? You are so handsome!"

"Little girl, don't be surprised. We rarely see ethnic minorities here."

"Everyone enters the village, don't stand here to chat. It's so bad... Meng Huo, come here, everyone is waiting for you!"

The old people in Li Village said to Meng Huo and then took him to the ancestral hall.

Along the way, Meng Huo surrounded her several circles, as if he was the protagonist today. Alice looked around curiously. She didn't think that this kind of rural rustic style was fresh in her. Especially when people always talked about her relationship with Meng Huo timidly, Alice was very happy.

Although Meng Huo has stated that the two are colleagues, most people do not believe it. Today is a family activity, and ordinary unmarried men with women around them are hinting that they are boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Why did my colleague come to our village? I don't think he is a colleague, he is probably Meng Huo's girlfriend."

"It's a pity... I still want to introduce his daughter to him. It seems that there is no chance!"

Alice found that there were many beautiful young women coming today, and their eyes were staring at Meng Huo, which was conceivable. If Alice had not been with Meng Huo today, maybe this event would have turned into a blind date.

However, after Alice stood beside Meng Huo, no other young women dared to come. No matter how beautiful they were, they could not defeat the aura Alice exuded. Alice was confident in this.

"It's a pity that Shen Jie doesn't come." She thought so. Shen Jie was surprised that she didn't come here today. She originally thought that Meng Huo and Shen Jie would have been together for a long time, but she didn't expect that when Meng Huo came back to the present, they didn't see each other at all.

If I had known this, it would have been okay for Alice to not come.

However, she did not regret coming here because she found out that she was treated in this village. It was like Meng Huo’s girlfriend. Li Qin seemed to feel troublesome, and she would not explain after being asked a few times.

On the way to the ancestral hall, Meng Huo passed by a big red table and saw someone writing on red paper, with many red envelopes on the table.

"By the way, this is the cost of the ancestral grave, right? I have prepared one too." Meng Huo suddenly remembered that during this activity in his previous life, he also paid a red envelope. This is the cost of relocating the grave, and every family has to pay a red envelope.

Although Li Qin had already paid off. Meng Huo, who had not started a family, did not need to give another copy alone, but he had already prepared it in advance. No one else stopped him.

After handing over the red envelope, Meng Huo was surrounded and walked into the ancestral hall. Alice rolled her eyes and quietly took out a red envelope from her body, and placed it on the table: "Write a copy for me, my name is Alice."

"Alice..." Li Qin looked at Alice in a little shocked manner, and was about to stop him. The man in charge of registering his name had quickly written Alice on it.

Alice smiled at Li Qin: "You can't bring nothing if you come once, right?"

Li Qin looked slightly dark, sighed softly, then took out another red envelope from her body and placed it on the table: "This is a red envelope that a classmate Meng Huo asked me to help, and the name is written by Shen Jie."

The man in glasses was stunned. Why did Shen Jie's name sound familiar? He looked up at Alice, then thought about the name Shen Jie again, and his eyes showed a sudden look, and then he quickly wrote Shen Jie's name on it.

Alice smiled bitterly, she calmed down and followed Meng Huo's footsteps again.

There were ten tables in the ancestral hall. Meng Huo was invited to sit in the innermost one. There were also several elderly people from Li Village, as well as several relatives who were entrepreneurs and officials sitting with him.

Others who had developed their identities in other places also came over and chatted with Meng Huo for a few words. Among them, there were many aunts and aunts, and some uncles. On the contrary, the villagers who Meng Huo was familiar with seemed more restrained and stayed aside and did not dare to disturb him.

More than once he heard a village woman scolding her husband.

"You are stupid. What are you afraid of being an uncle? Why don't you hurry up and get to know him."

"This... they have nothing to do with us. How can we guys, who are so rough?

But in fact, Meng Huo doesn't care. He and the people who talk to him are talking about where he works and is doing well, so that he can have time to play and play. He talks about some boring topics. Compared to these, he feels happier to listen to stories in the countryside.

Of course, Li Qin seemed very happy. She was the second most popular person except Meng Huo. Especially many decent elders were holding her to talk, and the smile on Li Qin's face never stopped. Seeing her smiling face, Meng Huo had no complaints.

In his opinion, today's event was enough as long as Li Qin was happy. After chatting in the ancestral hall for two hours, Meng Huo followed the crowd to see the new grave in Li Village Group, witnessed the ceremony of celebrating the relocation of the grave. After burning incense, his purpose of returning to Qingcheng was achieved.

After lunch, Meng Huo did not stay for too long. He said goodbye to Li Qin who was preparing to stay for a few more days and rushed to the train station with Alice.

At the station, there was already a group of people waiting for them. It was Chen Jie and her auxiliary team. She finished her work and took the evening banquet of the high-speed rail back to Ninghai with Meng Huo. All three of them had to attend.

Chen Jie seemed to have enough rest at home. After seeing Meng Huo and the others, she curiously asked if the morning activities were fun.

"What's fun? People are everywhere." Meng Huo rubbed his brows. He drank a lot of wine at noon, but he couldn't refuse. Fortunately, the event had ended. Apart from this grave relocation, in Meng Huo's memory, there seemed to be no other activities to pay attention to in the future.

"I think it's quite interesting."

Alice smiled. She liked today's experience very much, especially those who misunderstood that she was Meng Huo's girlfriend. People often toasted her at lunch. Alice refused, but she was very happy and didn't feel bored for the whole morning: "And the food in the village is very good."

"That's right." Meng Huo nodded. The food in the countryside tastes very special. In fact, it cannot be said to be delicious, but they are used to urban foods and rarely eat such fresh and nostalgic flavors.

"Are these photos you took these two days?" Chen Jie flipped up her digital camera again, and she was surprised: "Alice, did you take it? It was so good."

Meng Huo was surprised: "How do you know that it was her photographed?"

"Because you often appear in the photos." Chen Jie replied, this is not simple. If it was taken by Meng Huo, the figure of Alice should appear in the photos, but there is not a single Alice in these photos. It is obvious that she is using the camera.

"Have you learned photography?" Chen Jie looked at Alice. As a voice actor, she has also taken many advertisements and posters. She can tell the quality of the photos. Alice's technique is very skillful.

"Have you forgotten my previous job?" Alice smiled and said, "This is a skill that an agent needs to master. When there is something sudden in the artist, occasionally the cameraman is not around, and the agent also has to help take photos."

"But yesterday's scenery was the first time I took it, and it was not very good..."

Alice was a little dissatisfied with the photos she took, but in Shen Jie's opinion, it was already very good.

"I think these are very good. After printing them out, they are placed in Meng Huo's study. He may have inspiration when he sees them." Chen Jie said.

However, Meng Huo shook his head: "No, I don't need these photos, and it's not for me."

"Ah?" Chen Jie was surprised.

"What he said is true." Alice said helplessly: "These photos are for Qin Ya. After she heard that we were going to visit the scenic area, she forced me to put the camera and asked me to take a picture of the itinerary for the past two days."

Chen Jie is holding Qin Ya's camera in her hand. Qin Ya often takes her camera out for field trips. She is a very professional cartoonist and never reduces the opportunity to enrich her information and photo library.

As for Meng Huo, of course he doesn't need a camera. When he wants to draw something, he can recover well by memory. (To be continued...)
